My Everything

 Love instilled a great fear
Into a man who lives without
Every thought of you begins a battle
Of thoughts, emotions and sorrow
We can’t change the past
Only make decisions for a better tomorrow

Yet without you in my arms
Tomorrow is just another day
As the minutes in life tick by
Your absence thickens the sadness
With a future uncertain
There is one thing I must confess

The love you instilled in me
That was thought to never grow
Consumed my heart and soul
Binding the two together as one
The fear controlled my mind
And all I knew to do was run

So now I stand here
Still standing tall but less proud
Knowing I gave away a truth
That was undeniably real
Touched by your love
The fear carved scars never to heal

Hope has become a fallacy
As your love still resides deep within
Leaving me to live with the fear
With the constant battles lingering
I want you to know my heart is yours
You’ll forever be my everything.
